DFG Exclusive Review

Pros
  • A rather unique concept and simulation experience with bandits, settlers, mountains of gold, “Mad Russians”, and all the other charms of the Old West
  • The story is full of quirky characters, like the hotel mogul Harris Pilton, and is very well written with moments that will make you laugh out loud
  • Get your money's worth with 10 playable main characters, and dozens of secondary characters, and up to 30 hours of gameplay spread over 20 challenging levels
  • Lengthy tutorial is great for beginners and players new to the real time strategy genre
Cons
  • Clicking and dragging to move characters can get cumbersome and slows down the play
  • Some scenarios can feel overdrawn since you can't speed up the gameplay and certain goals, such as collecting 1000 gold to pay off a debt, can get tiresome

8.0

Great

Westward Review Summary

Westward is a real time strategy game set in a rather quirky take on the Old West that lets you decide the fate of brave settlers as they set up camp, harvest resources, and try to build a thriving community in the middle of the parched desert.

The story and its rather strange collection of zany prospectors, hotel moguls by the name of Harris Pilton, and industrious settlers is one of this game's main strengths. The writing is also very well done and you'll find yourself laughing out loud on more than one occasion...

Game Description

Rebuild the Wild West!

A Russian conman duped you! He sold the same lot of land to many people and now you must work together to build a town in the wilderness. Gather resources, build, repay debts and explore the wild west in this unique real-time strategy and resource management game!

Enjoy more than 30 hours of gameplay with great graphics. Work your way through 20 challenging levels and play as 10 different characters.

Gather Resources to Build Towns

The goal of your adventure is to complete various objectives while building prosperous towns. For example, you might have to find a gold vein to mine 400 gold to repay a debt. Early objectives are simple but the difficulty level ramps up and later objectives might include increasing the amount of food you can store by building farms and other buildings so you can gather enough food for a friend.

You can control various characters and gain new characters as your little town grows. Eventually, you can build general stores, saloons and much more, each with specific items that help you deal with drought, bandits, plague and more.

Humorous Gameplay That Never Gets Too Complex

This game is unique because it's easy to learn and packed with hilarious dialogue and characters. A tutorial will get you started playing right away. Enjoy humorous characters like Harris Pilton, a hotel mogul, and amusing advice like "There is nothing more dangerous than a bear holding a shark."

If you like real-time strategy games that will keep you on the edge of your seat, play Westward now!

43211 Great-Fun Western Strategy/Sim, May 29, 2010

by Jeff (Seattle, WA USA)

Westward is an interesting combination of real-time strategy, simulation, and role playing genres. Something like this has rarely been done before, but in this case, it works. The gameplay itself is fairly simplistic; give new settlers housing and jobs, and pretty soon they’ll start taking care of things on their own. However, things started to get a little irritating as the game’s click-and-drag interface made controlling people quite time-consuming. The AI handles quite well; however, it could use some work on pathfinding. Many times have my workers gotten stuck behind a tree or house, unable to navigate to the selected location. The missions are driven by subtle, but effective storylines, though the main goal is to establish a settlement in the West. The graphics for Westward are quite nice. Although 2D, the vibrant buildings and characters set it above early age graphics. The audio is also superb. Fantastic western-style music and ambiance really bring you to the Wild West.

Overview: Westward is a must-buy, perfectly suited to players of games like Sim City and Zoo Tycoon. However, its real time strategy element is what really sets it apart. A great Western themed game for a low price!
